Psalms 55:1-5
1
Psalm 55
For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A maskil of David.
Listen to my prayer, O God,
do not ignore my plea;
2
hear me and answer me.
My thoughts trouble me and I am distraught
3
at the voice of the enemy,
at the stares of the wicked;
for they bring down suffering upon me
and revile me in their anger.
4
My heart is in anguish within me;
the terrors of death assail me.
5
Fear and trembling have beset me;
horror has overwhelmed me.
